Welcome to

The Portage Bar

Every bloke or blokess needs a place where they can unwind with a cool beer and good old chin wag with their mates or matesses. Here you’ll find tall tales being told, pool balls being shot, live sport on big screens and hearty food being savoured. And of course, it will all be washed down with life’s essentials – icy cold, thirst quenching beer.

Above the bar you’ll see a large motorbike which if you look carefully you’ll see its been made from bits and pieces sculptor Garry Dunn found around the property.

On the walls you’ll see Riverhead’s history – stories about people who lived here way back when. Now it’s up to you to make a few stories of your own.

We don’t take bookings for The Portage Bar unless you have a group of over 15 people…just come on in and find yourself a leaner. There is an outside smoking area and under veranda tables where you are most welcome to bring dogs.

If you have a large group (over 15 people), please contact us and we’ll set aside a couple of leaners for you inside the bar

Hey!…one other thing….. we are very proud sponsors of the Western Pioneer Premiers….our local awesome rugby team! Go the WP’s!

OUR MENUS

This is good old-fashioned pub grub at its best. Hearty meals made with quality ingredients, with the utmost care. To be tempted by our latest servings, see our menus below.

Fancy yourself a bit of a Pool Shark? Monday nights are Pool Night in The Portage Bar! $5 entry fee - winner takes all! PLUS free supper provided! To play, contact The Riverhead on 09 412 8902 and give us your name and mobile number. We text out who wants to play each week and the first 16 back to us, get to play!

'Groove Diggers' always keep the crowd entertained with their acoustic style...smooth & cruisey, just the way we like it! The gates open at 12 noon, come on in and grab your spot. Music starts at 1 till 5pm. This casual environment with a comprehensive menu is great for all the family. Let us know if you have a group of over 20 and we'll book you a table.

Sundays in Winter call for perfectly cooked Roast Dinners... but don't spend the whole day slaving away in the kitchen when you can walk into The Riverhead and sit down to a perfectly cooked, tender roast meal, for you and your family!

Available every Sunday during Winter in The Landing and The Portage Bar.
